Automated Security Activation via Occupant Quiescence Detection
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Users often forget to activate security subsystems, leading to inadequate protection and potential false alarms when occupants attempt to exit, which can be inconvenient.
Innovation Solution
An automated security subsystem activation system that monitors occupant activity through electronic devices and activates the security system when a quiescence model is satisfied, using a neural network to determine conditions such as sleep, dress, and lighting levels to ensure timely activation and avoid false alarms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If manual activation of security subsystem is used, then user control is maintained, but users may forget to activate leading to inadequate protection
Solution Approach 1:
The security subsystem automatically determines whether to activate itself by monitoring occupant activity through electronic devices and evaluating quiescence conditions, eliminating the need for manual user activation while ensuring reliable protection
Solution Approach 2:
The system monitors occupant activity in advance and evaluates quiescence conditions before activation, determining the optimal time to activate security protection before any potential incident occurs
2Reliability
If security subsystem is activated early, then protection is ensured, but false alarms may occur when occupants attempt to exit
Solution Approach 1:
The system continuously monitors occupant activity and uses feedback from electronic devices to dynamically evaluate quiescence conditions, adjusting activation decisions based on real-time occupancy patterns and behavior analysis
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes the activation parameters by evaluating multiple quiescence conditions including occupant activity levels, time of day, and patterns of behavior, rather than using a fixed activation threshold

AI summary
For automated security subsystem activation, a processor monitors occupant activity from a plurality of electronic devices. The processor further determines the occupant activity satisfies a quiescence model. The processor activates the security subsystem in response to satisfying the quiescence model.
